Dear [Recipients Name],

Many congratulations on your return once again to the Senate. The State's Committee for Higher Education takes a great deal of pleasure from the knowledge that the voters of our state support you. We did a great deal of rallying for yourself, secure in the knowledge that you have always supported the need for further education for the state's youth.

We would ask that you continue to support Higher Education in your forthcoming term of office. As you are aware there is a new student loan program coming up in the next few months. We feel that this is a vital part of the overall plan for the best education for our state's inhabitants. Once again we congratulate you on a successful campaign.
